Building Transport

Put 6 skeletons on a transport and let them run out of energy there. The next 6 things built by you or anyone else will get cloned on the transport (this includes buildings.) Then you can disembark them just like you would guys and the buildings will be instantly built. Note that they may be built on top of each other.

Cheat Without Getting Caught

If you want to use codes to beat the game, but don't like to be ranked "cheater", you can get as far ahead in the game as you want using cheats, then save your game. Quit WarCraft II, then restart it and load your saved game.

Exploding Sheep

If you click on a sheep (or other animal) enough times it will explode. This won't do any damage to your enmies, but it is a mindless diversion.

Construct Buildings Faster

To speed up development without using a cheat code, have some of your peasants repair the building you're constructing.
